Thermacare Xl 2 Piece Versatile Self-Heating Band Thermacare

Description
Soft and comfortable band of material with special patented cells containing natural components (iron, carbon, salt and water) which, upon contact with oxygen in the air, develop heat.
Prolonged heat, at a constant temperature, increases blood circulation in the tissues, producing pain-relieving effects and relaxing the muscles, as:
• brings more oxygen to damaged tissues, helping the muscle to return to a state of well-being;
• stimulates the nerve endings, sensitive to temperature, interrupting the transmission of pain and thus promoting muscle relaxation.
Effective and targeted against muscle and joint pain due to muscle fatigue and tension, sprains, strains and arthritis.
Suitable for chronic and occasional pain.
It acts directly on the point of pain.
It does not contain any drugs.
It is easy to use, comfortable to wear, thin, discreet, odorless. Disposable.
Clinically proven to relax tense muscles.

How to use
Open pouch when ready to use. ThermaCare may take up to 30 minutes to reach its therapeutic temperature. Remove the protective paper to expose the adhesive side. Place on the painful area and press the adhesive side firmly onto the skin. Be careful not to overlap cells when applying. Do not use on the face, head, breasts, inner arms, armpits, fingers, lower abdomen, groin, inner knees, feet or toes. If you are 55 years of age or older, wear Thermacare over a thin piece of clothing (or fabric), not directly on the skin. For maximum effectiveness, wear ThermaCare for 8 hours.
The product can be disposed of hot or cold in normal household waste.
